B.                                        Initially, the Plan Administrator will base its recommendations on the Participant Award Guidelines contained in Appendix C.

C.                                        Next, the Plan Administrator will review the Participant’s overall performance, quality of work performed during the Award Period and its overall satisfaction with the Participant’s accomplishments.  This qualitative assessment may include such factors as an evaluation of the Participants responses to opportunities presented, judgment exercised, ability and willingness to work as part of a team and the possession of leadership and management skills expected to be found at the executive level of management.  Based upon such qualitative assessment, the Plan Administrator shall assign each Participant a performance level rating between 5 (highest) and 2 (lowest).  The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, will then make upward or downward adjustments, or no adjustment, to the recommended Award based upon the Performance Guidelines contained in Appendix B.

D.                                        Finally, the recommended Awards will be reviewed by the Compensation and Directors Nominating Committees, who will, in their sole discretion, approve all Awards.  The Compensation and Directors Nominating Committee has the unilateral right to modify or cancel any recommended Award, with no liability to the Bank, at any time prior to its final approval of Awards.  Only upon final approval of Awards shall all Awards become fully vested, and payable as provided in Section X, below.

This Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment between the Bank and any person eligible for participation in the Plan.  Each Participant is an at-will employee.  Nothing contained in this Plan (or any Award made pursuant to this Plan) shall confer upon any eligible Participant any right to continue in the employment of the Bank, or guarantee of payment of future incentives, or shall interfere with, affect or restrict in any way, the rights of the Bank, which are expressly reserved, to discharge any employee Participants, any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.
